May Blog Hop!

Welcome to our second Blog Hop! I hope you're having fun so far. You should have come from after seeing  Lianna's awesomest(what? it's a word) blog. If you haven't, then check it out from the very beginning at Krystie's blog.


I have an example of what you can make with A Muse Studio's brand products.Stamp set used is "Just Because". Using a base of sugar c/s paper, I masked off a rectangle with post-it notes, and with sky pigment ink placed upside down onto the paper press down, gently, then let totally dry( it only takes a few minutes with this pigment ink!). While waiting for ink to dry I used Tombow markers (#'s 933(orange),676(blackberry),126 (grass))to color the flower stamp, and a very light spray of water then stamp onto Sky rectangle. Place image onto a layer of blackberry and onto a layer of sugar with sentiment and buttons finish it off with a ribbon of heather satin. And voila!



Visit A Muse Studio!They have everything you need to make that perfect card! From themed stamp sets to coordinating colored paper, inks, and bling, you are sure to find all things wonderful! And now for the best part, I will be giving away some blog candy! Including paper, ribbon, buttons and an extra surprise, all you have to do is leave a comment on my blog(Please, include an Email addy with your comment)! I will be choosing a random name and will announce it Fri, May 6th!

I hope you enjoy the rest of the Blog Hop! And now to our very own wonderful and talented Lesa's Blog!
Thanks for playing along!

    What a beautiful Cat! Now onto the card, LOL, I love it, it's so light and airy feeling, love that flower stamp. I love the results from coloring directly onto the stamp, then spritzing with water. It gives such a muted and wonderful impression. Very impressionistic or water color, which I love both. For years I printed these type of images in the Hallmark Card Studio programs with my computer and home printer and people loved them, but doing cards by hand and stamping them is so much more fun and creative.
